Hazel P.O.V.

“Mama, mama, mama..” Lily’s happy voice echoes in my ears. I open one eye and see its light outside. She is bouncing on the bed beside me, and Kaia is smirking in the doorway with a cut of steaming something in it. I bet it’s coffee.

“I’m up, sweets. Good morning.” Lily throws herself at me with a squeal. I catch her with a laugh, tickling her and enjoying her laughter.

“How long has she been awake?” I ask Kaia, who blows on her beverage. I smell it now - definitely coffee. That traitor didn’t even take a cup with her for me.

“At least an hour.” I groan, looking at the clock on the nightstand - 6.45am.

“I’m so sorry.” Kaia waves her hand, smiling as she looks at the happy Lily. I smile back at her, committing this time to memory and in my heart. Who knows how many of these quiet moments we’ll get just the three of us.

“Mama, uggi Jo?” I smile at my child. She might be almost 5, but she does not have a lot of language. Kaia and I have a feeling she might be on the spec

  • The Alpha's Runaway Luna    No more running away

    Kaia P.O.V.“You are coming with us, sister. You have been a disappointment once too many times!” Dex growls, lunging at me. I step to the side, but not fast enough. Dex tackled me to the ground, forcing me to my stomach. I kick and buckle, trying to get him off of me. Adrian screams in pain, Aron laughing manically. I scream in agony as I feel the pain through the matebond. I buckle even more, wanting more than anything to go to my mate. He is going to die if he doesn’t get treatment. I feel something burning on my wrist as Dex closes a cuff on it.“Stop fucking squirming, you bitch. Lay still god dammit!” He grunts. I don’t. I fight with everything I have, Nova howling for her mate in my head. Then his weight on me is gone. Growls and snarls fill the edge of the pond. Someone shakes the ground with their fierce growl. I look up to see Hazel punch my brother in the face, breaking his nose, and then again in the temple rendering him unconscious. She comes back to me, hurrying to get t

  • The Alpha's Runaway Luna    The trespassers from the past

    Kaia P.O.V. “This place is so peaceful.” I murmur, leaning against Adrian's shoulder. We’re sitting at the edge of the pond, the waterfall creating a mist of water as it hits the pond's edge. The sound of the water hitting from the waterfall into the pond is soothing and calming, making me sigh in comfort. Adrian wraps his arm around me, pulling me closer into him. He has not made a move to do anything other than just be here with him, and I appreciate the sentiment. “I’ve always loved coming here as a boy and teenager. It was my quiet place. A place where I could contemplate life, duty and or go when life was just too much and I felt like screaming my lungs off.” He says, his voice quiet. The memories he’s describing playing in my mind and I smile. What I would have given to have had a place like this in my childhood. “Are we still within the pack borders?” I ask, wanting to know if we potentially could be surprised by rogues or other nasties out here. “Yes, this pond is just wit

  • The Alpha's Runaway Luna    No more a pushover

    Hazel P.O.V.“You really believe those two lying brats over me, brother?” Rebecca whisper-screams at River. The crowd have disbursed as River told them this matter is between the mother of the boy, Rebecca and me now. They left reluctantly, especially the other pups and the teenage girls, who I just now realised were edging the little ones on in the efforts to bully my daughter. Becky took Lily with her back to the stroller to get the sand out of her face and look after her as we try to resolve this matter. Grady has been by my side every step of the way, but he has been quiet, which kind of annoys me. Mate or not, he is the Alpha and he saw what happened. Even if he was the one to call for backup, he has not supported me verbally since. “I believe you are in trouble, sister. And just because I’m your brother, you can’t just behave as you please.” River answers smoothly. He turns his attention to the mother and boy, who are trying their best to be as invisible as possible. “Ma’am, I

  • The Alpha's Runaway Luna    The outing (Part two)

    Hazel P.O.V. Being with Grady alone is nicer than I thought it would be, and I feel myself relax in his presence. We talk and laugh, keeping an eye on Lily as she plays in the sandbox by herself. She is smiling from ear to ear. She always loved the playground, and would always just play by herself, immersed in her own world of imagination. She used to draw all kinds of colorful pictures later when we came home of whatever she had played during our time out. Both Kaia and I would take her out as much as we could, trying to keep the days as normal as possible. Especially after Hope died. Lily regressed into herself after Hope died, and we tried therapy for her, but ended up with therapy for us. The woman suggested we try to keep as normal a day for Lily as possible, and be there for her when she needed us close. It ended in us alternating days of work, so one of us was always home with Lily, and she knew she had us. It slowly progressed, and she started smiling a little more, drawing w

  • The Alpha's Runaway Luna    The outing (Part one)

    Grady P.O.V. “Adrian took Kaia for a walk to the pond with the waterfall. I was thinking you might want to look around the pack. Get reacquainted?” I ask as Hazel and Lily come back out from the bathroom in the Alpha suit. I’m in the living room area, sitting on the light grey couch, and she sits down with her girl opposite me. “I don’t know. It depends on Lils to be honest. She has good days and not so good days with socializing. She seems to like all of you though, which is a nice surprise.” I frown a little at that. What does that even mean? Looking at Lily she seems fine, but I don’t know her very well and Hazel is her mother, so I will listen and learn. “Is she alright?” I ask, hoping she doesn’t mind the question. I’m hoping to have them all for myself today, and I will do whatever she and Lily want to do. I had thought of a walk through the packgrounds, lunch either in the mansion or here, a trip to the playground for Lily and dinner. “She is. She is a very special little g

  • The Alpha's Runaway Luna    The zen spot

    Adrian P.O.V.Hearing the story of my mate broke my heart. I had always wanted my fated mate. Just like Grady, and even the ever grumpy River, we’ve always been told stories and shown how great the fated matebond is by our parents and grandparents. Grady was so deliriously happy when he found out Hazel was his mate. I snapped a photo of her on the morning of her birthday, sending it to him because he was obsessed with her, and he decided to explore himself after that. He doesn’t think I know, but I do. He followed her when she went from her home to school. When he came back he was floating. That’s when I knew for sure he had found his mate. The look in his eyes, the skip in his step. He asked River of all the people in the pack to deliver her a note. I was a little bummed it wasn’t me he asked, but I shrugged it off. When he came back that night I was waiting in the living room to congratulate them both, but he came alone absolutely crushed. He didn’t want to talk right then, so I wa
